Net loss attributable to Euronet of $13.0 million or $0.26 diluted
loss per share, compared with net income of $10.9 million or $0.21
diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted cash earnings per share of $0.44, a 4% decrease from $0.46.
Adjusted cash earnings per share would have been $0.47, a 2% increase,
if not for a one-time tax charge of three cents per share related to
the repurchase of the Company's convertible bonds.

Transactions of 604 million, a 10% increase from 550 million.

See the reconciliation of non-GAAP items in the attached financial
schedules.

"I am pleased we delivered record annual adjusted cash earnings per
share," stated Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. "This earnings growth was the result of our continued focus on
new products and markets together with effective execution across most
of our business."

"Our EFT and Money Transfer Segments finished the year with strong 55%
and 67% fourth quarter constant currency operating income growth,
respectively," continued Mr. Brown. "And, while we still face challenges
in some of our epay markets, we are starting to see benefits from the
non-mobile content and value added services we introduced during the
year. We look forward to the second quarter 2013 when we expect epay to
stabilize."

In the fourth quarter 2012, the Company completed its annual goodwill
impairment testing and recorded a non-cash goodwill and acquired
intangible asset impairment charge of $28.7 million related to the
Company's epay Brazil business. While the Company continues to introduce
additional electronic payment products into the Brazilian market, the
financial contribution of these products has not replaced the loss of
earnings resulting from the continued impact of changes in distribution
strategies of certain mobile operators in Brazil.

Segment and Other Results

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the
full year 2012 compared with the same period of 2011:

Revenues of $237.9 million, a 19% increase from $199.3 million (32%
increase on a constant currency basis).

Operating income of $44.4 million, a 34% increase from $33.2 million
(46% increase on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted operating income of $44.4 million, a 35% increase from $32.9
million (47% increase on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted EBITDA of $69.7 million, a 29% increase from $54.0 million
(41% increase on a constant currency basis).

Transactions of 1,156 million, a 23% increase from 943 million.

Operated 17,600 ATMs as of December 31, 2012, a 24% increase from
14,224 ATMs as of December 31, 2011.

The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the
fourth quarter 2012 compared with the same period of 2011:

Revenues of $64.8 million, a 19% increase from $54.3 million (22%
increase on a constant currency basis).

Operating income of $13.6 million, a 53% increase from $8.9 million
(55% increase on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million, a 38% increase from $14.6 million
(40% increase on a constant currency basis).

Transactions of 297 million, a 16% increase from 257 million.

Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA expansion in the fourth
quarter and full year 2012 is largely attributable to a 24% increase in
ATMs under management, growth of value added services and increased
demand for software products.

Transaction growth of 23% for the full year and 16% for the fourth
quarter was driven by ATM expansion in India, Poland and Romania,
together with further development of the European cross-border acquiring
business. Revenue growth outpaced transaction growth due to a shift
towards higher priced transactions. ATM growth was largely attributable
to brown label ATM deployments in India and the cash4you acquisition in
Poland completed late in the fourth quarter 2011. The deployment of
brown label ATMs in India contributed to fourth quarter earnings growth,
but negatively impacted full year results due to the ramp-up of
transactions on these new ATMs.

The epay Segment reports the following results for the full year
2012 compared with the same period for 2011:

Revenues of $714.2 million, a 5% increase from $677.1 million (10%
increase on a constant currency basis).

Operating income of $19.6 million, a 65% decrease from $56.8 million
(76% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted operating income of $48.3 million, a 15% decrease from $57.0
million (14% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted EBITDA of $68.1 million, a 10% decrease from $75.5 million
(7% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Transactions of 1,113 million, a 5% increase from 1,064 million.

Point of sale ("POS") terminals of approximately 680,000 as of
December 31, 2012, an 11% increase from approximately 615,000 as of
December 31, 2011.

Retailer locations of approximately 339,000 as of December 31, 2012,
an 16% increase from approximately 293,000 as of December 31, 2011.

The epay Segment reports the following results for the fourth
quarter 2012 compared with the same period of 2011:

Revenues of $199.5 million, a 4% increase from $191.2 million (6%
increase on a constant currency basis).

Operating loss of $13.8 million compared with operating income of
$16.9 million.

Adjusted operating income of $14.9 million, a 12% decrease from $16.9
million (11% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted EBITDA of $19.4 million, a 12% decrease from $22.1 million
(11% decrease on a constant currency basis).

Transactions of 298 million, a 4% increase from 286 million.

Full year revenue growth versus the prior year was largely due to the
September 2011 acquisition of cadooz. Revenue increases in the fourth
quarter 2012 compared with the prior year were from continued demand for
non-mobile products in Germany and prepaid mobile sales in the U.S.
Adjusted operating income and Adjusted EBITDA declines for both the full
year and fourth quarter were primarily focused in Brazil, Spain and
Australia, partially offset by increases in Germany and the U.S.

Transaction growth of 5% and 4% for the full year and fourth quarter
2012, respectively, was driven by volume increases in the U.S., Germany,
India and France. These volume increases were partially offset by
declines in Spain, Australia and Brazil.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the
full year 2012 compared with the same period for 2011:

Revenues of $316.1 million, an 11% increase from $285.3 million (15%
increase on a constant currency basis).

Operating income of $24.6 million, a 44% increase from $17.1 million
(50% increase on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted EBITDA of $43.4 million, a 16% increase from $37.5 million
(20% increase on a constant currency basis).

Total transactions of 30.7 million, a 25% increase from 24.5 million.

Network locations of approximately 177,000 as of December 31, 2012, a
21% increase from approximately 146,000 as of December 31, 2011.

The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the
fourth quarter 2012 compared with the same period of 2011:

Revenues of $87.2 million, an 18% increase from $74.0 million (19%
increase on a constant currency basis).

Operating income of $7.4 million, a 64% increase from $4.5 million
(67% increase on a constant currency basis).

Adjusted EBITDA of $12.2 million, a 30% increase from $9.4 million
(31% increase on a constant currency basis).

Total transactions of 8.6 million, a 28% increase from 6.7 million.

Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA expansion was driven by
total transaction growth of 25% and 28% for the full year and fourth
quarter, respectively. The strong growth resulted from Ria's continued
focus on network expansion, which increased 21% over the prior year,
together with additional transactions generated within existing markets.

For the full year, the number of money transfers increased 15%,
including 18% from the U.S. and 10% from markets outside of the U.S. For
the fourth quarter, money transfers increased 20%, including 26% from
the U.S. and 13% from non-U.S. markets. Transfers from the U.S. to
Mexico grew 19% and 28% for the full year and fourth quarter,
respectively, with the fourth quarter representing the strongest
quarterly growth in 2012. Non-money transfers increased 83% and 63% for
the full year and fourth quarter, respectively.

CIO, CTO & Developer Resources

Corporate and Other reports $30.6 million of expense for 2012
compared with $28.0 million for 2011. Fourth quarter 2012 Corporate
expense was $9.1 million compared with $7.3 million for the fourth
quarter 2011. The increase in Corporate expense is primarily
attributable to long and short-term incentive compensation expense
related to improved Company results.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position

Unrestricted cash on hand was $191.2 million as of December 31, 2012,
compared to $191.8 million as of September 30, 2012. Total indebtedness
was $301.3 million as of December 31, 2012, compared to $261.6 million
as of September 30, 2012. Total debt increased as a result of borrowings
to fund the repurchase of shares from DST Systems, Inc. and the
acquisition of ezi-pay in New Zealand, partly offset by repayments of
debt made using cash flows generated from operations.

Guidance

The Company currently expects adjusted cash earnings per share for the
first quarter 2013 to be approximately $0.37, assuming foreign currency
exchange rates remain stable through the end of the quarter.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the
Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency
financial measures, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA and
adjusted cash earnings per share. These measures should be used in
addition to, and not a substitute for, net income, operating income and
earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe
that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors
regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations.
These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's
internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior
management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be
comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other
companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP
financial measure.

(1) Constant currency measures are computed as if foreign
currency exchange rates did not change from the prior period. This
information is provided to illustrate the impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on the Company's results when compared to the
prior period.

(2) Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income
excluding goodwill and acquired intangible asset impairment charges,
changes in the value of acquisition contingent consideration and
non-recurring items that are considered expenses under U.S. GAAP.

(3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding income
tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation
expenses and other non-operating or non-recurring items that are
considered expenses under U.S. GAAP.

(4) Adjusted cash earnings per share is defined as diluted
U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding the tax-effected impacts of: a)
foreign exchange gains or losses, b) goodwill and acquired intangible
asset impairment charges, c) gains or losses from the early retirement
of debt, d) share-based compensation, e) acquired intangible asset
amortization, f) non-cash interest expense, g) non-cash income tax
expense, and h) other non-operating or non-recurring items. Adjusted
cash earnings per share includes shares potentially issuable in
settlement of convertible bonds or other obligations, if the assumed
issuances are dilutive to adjusted cash earnings per share. Adjusted
cash earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not
intended to represent a liquidity measure.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and
Operating Income (Expense) to Adjusted Operating Income (Expense)

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (expense) are non-GAAP
measures that should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute
for, net income (loss) and operating income (expense) computed in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.

EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and
Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Expense)

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (expense) are non-GAAP
measures that should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute
for, net income (loss) and operating income (expense) computed in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1) As required by U.S. GAAP, the interest cost and amortization of the
convertible debt issuance cost are excluded from income for the purpose
of calculating diluted earnings per share for any period when the
convertible debentures, if converted, would be dilutive to earnings per
share. Although the assumed conversion of the convertible debentures was
not dilutive to the Company's GAAP earnings for the periods presented,
it was dilutive to the Company's adjusted cash earnings per share for
the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012 and the three
months ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, the interest cost and
amortization of the convertible debt issuance cost are excluded from
income and the convertible shares are treated as if all were outstanding
for the period.

(2) Adjusted cash earnings and adjusted cash earnings per share are
non-GAAP measures that should be considered in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share computed
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

When talking IoT we often focus on the devices, the sensors, the hardware itself. The new smart appliances, the new smart or self-driving cars (which are amalgamations of many ‘things’).

IoT is not about the devices, it’s about the data consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits.

However, analytics capable of transforming data and metrics into an application-focused report or dashboards are what separates actual application monitoring from relatively simple silo monitoring.

One problem that all developers and companies struggle with is trying to decide if they should "build it" or "buy it". Software developers love to build things. That is what we do! Their natural reaction tends to lean towards building things. We are also always up for a new challenge.
There are very good reasons for building or buying software. There are also good reasons to use open source projects, which is a third option.

These days, no matter what task you’re trying to accomplish within your online properties, chances are there’s at least one cloud solution that provides it. However, with so much of our personal and business data living now online, there’s perhaps no functionality more important than cloud security. With cyber attacks more prevalent than ever, it’s imperative that organizations – regardless of their size and scope – protect both themselves and their clients from nefarious individuals who prey on unsecured networks and data.

MongoDB, an open-source document store and most popular NoSQL database on the market today, offers a variety of advanced features to administer security over your MongoDB deployments. In this tutorial post, we’re going to show you how to set up role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user access across your MongoDB systems for reIndex, mongodump and mongorestore.
If you're the administrator of your MongoDB databases, you've likely received requests to provide an individual user with the capabilities to perform a certain action(s). MongoDB's security features are fairly mature now, and allo...

The benefits of automation are well documented; it increases productivity, cuts cost and minimizes errors. It eliminates repetitive manual tasks, freeing us up to be more innovative. By that logic, surely, we should automate everything possible, right? So, is attempting to automate everything a sensible - even feasible - goal? In a word: no.
Consider this your short guide as to what to automate and what not to automate.

The rule of thumb for network security today is that there is no perimeter anymore. An outsider can easily become an insider once perimeter security is breached. Every day, attackers find new ways to breach enterprise perimeter security through ransomware, malware or phishing through social engineering.
This is not to suggest that all is lost. Rather, organizations can defeat cybercriminals, in part, by better managing what has already been put in place. As an example of what can go wrong if that doesn’t happen, consider the following story.

Cavirin Systems has just announced C2, a SaaS offering designed to bring continuous security assessment and remediation to hybrid environments, containers, and data centers. Cavirin C2 is deployed within Amazon Web Services (AWS) and features a flexible licensing model for easy scalability and clear pay-as-you-go pricing.

Let's do a visualization exercise. Imagine it's December 31, 2018, and you're ringing in the New Year with your friends and family. You think back on everything that you accomplished in the last year: your company's revenue is through the roof thanks to the success of your product, and you were promoted to Lead Developer. 2019 is poised to be an even bigger year for your company because you have the tools and insight to scale as quickly as demand requires. You're a happy human, and it's not just because of the bubbly in your glass.
Now how does one turn this visualization into reality? You st...

"Opsani helps the enterprise adopt containers, help them move their infrastructure into this modern world of DevOps, accelerate the delivery of new features into production, and really get them going on the container path," explained Ross Schibler, CEO of Opsani, and Peter Nickolov, CTO of Opsani, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at DevOps Summit at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Troubleshooting a problem on a remote server, especially in production, is not an easy task. Sometimes it involves debugging the application code directly on the server.
But the production servers are usually run in a strict environment, where not all convenient developer tools are available.
In this article, you'll discover how to configure a running web server and debug your application using standard facilities provided by the Java platform.

Developing mobile apps has never been an easy task. Creating a mobile app for iOS means owning strong programming skills about Objective-C or Swift and knowing their APIs. Android-based apps are not so different: you have to know Java and the Android Platform and its API.
The learning curve is not fast and it includes how to create nice and interactive user interfaces, connecting embedded features like GPS, camera, showing maps, images and so forth.

The nature of test environments is inherently temporary—you set up an environment, run through an automated test suite, and then tear down the environment. If you can reduce the cycle time for this process down to hours or minutes, then you may be able to cut your test environment budgets considerably.
The impact of cloud adoption on test environments is a valuable advancement in both cost savings and agility. The on-demand model takes advantage of public cloud APIs requiring only payment for the time needed to run automated tests. In this framework, success depends on two things: automated i...

Digital experience monitoring plays a vital role in the ecommerce economy. The industry is booming with millions of websites selling everything imaginable. Online stores are expected to be super fast and easy to navigate; users are quick to assess website performance and if said perceived performance is below expectations, they will quickly move on to competitor’s website.

The question before companies today is not whether to become intelligent, it’s a question of how and how fast. The key is to adopt and deploy an intelligent application strategy while simultaneously preparing to scale that intelligence. In her session at 21st Cloud Expo, Sangeeta Chakraborty, Chief Customer Officer at Ayasdi, provided a tactical framework to become a truly intelligent enterprise, including how to identify the right applications for AI, how to build a Center of Excellence to operationalize the intelligence and how to implement a strategy to scale efforts. She pulled from her ex...

Organizations around the world are struggling to cope with the current data explosion. A vital characteristic of this data is that it is unstructured and represents things like email, images, and videos. Storage of this form of data is typically in an object format which differs significantly from the database norm. Databases housed data grows very slowly because most of it is structured. Object storage formats are now being used to optimize access to large amounts of non-transactional files across a growing number of vertical markets.

"IBM is really all in on blockchain. We take a look at sort of the history of blockchain ledger technologies. It started out with bitcoin, Ethereum, and IBM evaluated these particular blockchain technologies and found they were anonymous and permissionless and that many companies were looking for permissioned blockchain," stated René Bostic, Technical VP of the IBM Cloud Unit in North America, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

The end of the year is a time for reflection. It’s when most of us are looking back at the choices, accomplishments, and mistakes of the year prior and setting goals to improve the following year. It’s also when businesses analyze the year’s trends and behaviors to determine necessary strategic changes to be made; however, if you aren’t analyzing the right metrics, such reflection is a useless effort.
Below is an excerpt from an article provided by Elad Rave, founder and CTO of Teridion, explaining why TTLB (Time to Last Byte) should be one of the performance metrics on your radar.

How much does it cost to make an app is almost as popular a question as it is confusing.
No one tries to learn the exact costs of, say, making a movie: people realize that there’s an overwhelming amount of variables involved on which they depend.
But almost every day a new inquiry is posted on a tech forum, Quora, or Reddit as to how much it’d take to build a mobile business app.

Cloud computing budgets worldwide are reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, and no organization can survive long without some sort of cloud migration strategy. Each month brings new announcements, use cases, and success stories.
